Jai Ho beats Race 2 to be the 2nd highest Republic Day grosser

Salman Khan’s Jai Ho has beaten last year’s Republic Day release Race 2. As a result, the film is now the second highest Republic Day weekend grosser after Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath which released in 2012.

Race 2 was a sequel to a popular film, featured popular stars like Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The film also had 2 holidays in its first weekend (Republic Day and Sunday). Jai Ho, however, was only riding on the star power of Salman Khan.

  • NOW IT CAN BE CONFIRMED THAT JANUARY IS A BAD MONTH FOR RELEASING BIG FILMS
    It is funny when one says when there is no Khans or hrithik, Akshay will be ruling. SRK who is the most consistent and work with big banners,leading heroines and high production values.
    Akshay works with low banners,no leading heroines,low production value and release his movies on non holidays and work in most awful movies like tmk and k786
    Highest grossers from 2006 SRK vs Akshay 2006 Don-51 crore, Phir Hera Pheri- 41.75 crore, 2007 OSO — 79.42 crore , Welcome- 70.75 crore. 2008 RNBJ- 86.78 crore, SIK-68.48 crore. 2009 Billu- 23.64 crore, De Dana Dhan-48.30 crore. 2010 MNIK-72.74 crore, Housefull- 72.07 crore. 2011 Raone- 120 crore, Thank You-46 crore. 2012 JTHJ- 101 crore,Rowdy Rathore-132 crore
    When you add these factors and these collections.it reveals something

  • race-2 sequel of superhit film and saif-deepika combo after cocktail with hit music and agneepath too is backed with dharma productions starcast of hritik,sanju and priyanka with huge chartbuster chikini chamel…whereas jai ho only got poor salman khan doing charity to his brother sohail khan…i remember satish kaushik director terenaam did decent job even film average far at b.o but remembered for his performance…jai ho had strong plot if handled by exp director would hav been superhit atleast! music is below par..salman took complete blame himself…now leave him alone

  • I hope it attain at least average status but RACE 2 WAS NOT EVEN A HIT
    As i have watched KICK and being the competitor for the highest grosser
    KICK is a MINDLESS movie.It contains more comedy than action.Ravi Teja can vanish and go to places he likes.He can beat 4 people under 30sec.And the word ‘KICK’ is mentioned many times in everything he does,whether fighting,eating,,,,,, And contains many flashback scenes
    Boy,the hero,RAVI TEJA is very very ugly.And when u see Ravi teja romancing Ileana, you will laugh out.
    Nevertheless it was very funny,especially the ugly actor romancing the beautiful Ileana.
    This movie is not for CRITICS and intellectuals and this role suits SALMAN and AKSHAY and since SALMAN is gud looking,it will be entertaining
    ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT KICK WILL DO AT BOXOFFICE.FINGERS CROSSED

  • Movie of january-dedh ishqiya(the only quality movie)
    movie of fabruary-gunday vs HTP vs sadi ke sight effect vs highway. Interesting!

  • Ra.One Budget:
    175 crore+ 50 crore promotion= 225 crore
    Domestic gross=120 crore
    How can it be a hit? It should be flop

  • I love this movie Jai Ho. Very good morals here @BeingSalmanKhan and Genelia Deshmukh were just stunning – had me in tears. Heart touching scenes has no end when u start talking about Jai Ho.

  • @aeeyy
    Good comment…
    Also akki does 2-3 films every year,whereas others do max. 2 films.
    But i feel there is hardly to choose between all top 6 actors,all are brilliant in someway…

  • @True fan
    ra.one is not made at budget of 225crs it’s made at budget of 325crs
    yaar kuch bhi
    looser it’s made at budget b/w 115to135crs
    even that with promotion
    and you should know that a movie made at budget didnt need to collect to much
    ex:devdas,d3 and k3
    k3 is made at budget in more than 100crs need to collect more than 300crs to be emerge as atbb but it collect 245crs but still it’s atbb
    d3 made at budget of 145crs collect 285crs
    how can it be called atbb

  • @aeyyy – Who said January is bad for releasing films? What was Agneepath then? Next year SRK’s ‘FAN’ will release on republic day and dispel such wrong notions.

  • @Rohit,had you feel like titanic or DDLJ or avatar after seen jai ho?

    @nipun,again you started on quality,please stop everybody knows that.

    bhojpuri lallu fans of pagalpur,now bhai’s career ended after struggling very hard to overcome saif’s movie with out any release,pity on you big losers of all time,bhai should retire now and lived happily with shera.

  • My friends shayad aapne suna hoga “ghayal sher hamesha bahot khatarnak hota hai” this is what I’m saying about salman. Waiting for blockbuster kick.

  • Wow..what a record indicine. Will it be able to cross barfi’s collection or collection of SRK’s lowest collecting movie till date (don2), which was released three years back. As Salman fans always talk about inflation and ticket prices, will they digest this fact?? LoL

  • @Indicine Team, why is the verdict of Jai Ho with 103.29 Crores in 11 days Average or Below Average? Distributors have invested 90-95 Cores and it earned 103.29 Crores? Haven’t they made profits? How do you give verdict for the films?

    According to Taran Adarsh, “#JaiHo *actuals* Week 1 – 88.78 cr, Wknd 2 – 13.80 cr. Grand total: ? 102.58 cr nett. India biz only. Figures confirmed by Eros.” If you add 2.1 Crores, doesn’t it become 104.39 Crores in 11 days?

    I am sure it will fetch around 20 Crores more. What will be the verdict then? Please answer!
    ——————————————————————————————————————

    To the others who are bashing up Jai Ho,

    Is #JaiHo A Flop? Its Weekend Collection was more than the collections of any other Amir or SRK film but for CE & Dhoom 3.

    Jai Ho- 1) [Bad Timing of Release after X’Mas and New Year] An out and out non-festive and non-holiday release, 2) Widest Release, 3) Ticket Price 30%-40% lower than CE and Dhoom 3, 4) Some Section of People are Boycotting it. 5) Low-ranking casts but for Salman and film-makers, 6) A good qaulity-pirated copy of Jai Ho was leaked online and anti-Salman people encouraged others to watch the pirated movie. According to Hindustan Times, it lost 8-10 crores because of that.

    CE and Dhoom3- 1) [Good Timing of Releses] Festive Releases, 2) Released in lesser screens, 3) Ticket Price: 40% Higher, 4) No one boycotted them, 5) High-Ranking Casts and Film-Makers.
    Out of the above five-facts, only no. 2 is in favor of Jai Ho, while other four are against. And no.1, no.3, no.4. no.5 are in favor of CE and Dhoom 3, while only no.2 is against them.

    These are not excuses but facts. And Life is about ups and downs! All the best, Salman Khan, the enigma the people love!

    In short, JaiHoSpreadingHumanity

    I want to end with a few amazing words that Taran Adarsh Retweeted:
    “Haazaro Aib Dhundhte Hain Hum Dusro Mein Is Tarah, Aapne Kirdaar Mein Hum Log Farishte Ho Jaise”

  • Sorry! Mistake! According to Taran Adarsh, “#JaiHo *actuals* Week 1 — 88.78 cr, Wknd 2 — 13.80 cr. Grand total: ? 102.58 cr nett. India biz only. Figures confirmed by Eros.” If you add 2.1 Crores, doesn’t it become 104.68 Crores in 11 days?

  • can anybody tell me when was the last time boxoffice india n all the other sites n all the trade experts are giving the same figure.. eros could have easily manipulated the figures by 20 crores n tagged it a ‘hit’ through inflated official figures.. but they chose not to.. infact they did not release any official figures.. they left the trade to do its job.. afterall it is salman khan, who doesnt get into these dirty games.. proud to be a salman fan.. respect.. we are happy with average grosser rather than a fake hit!

  • When human beings find continuous success, they, naturally, tend to take things lightly. As a human being, Salman Khan is also prone to that weakness. Though, with no doubt, Jai Ho is a great film, it didn’t do business as much as it had been expected from it. There are many reasons for it. It has alerted Salman Khan to take the audiences’ taste seriously, to do something and not to do something. He will surely be precautionary from these days onwards. The fortunate thing is he has got the chance to improve his work without facing a great failure.

    In Salman Khan last few films except for ETT, though story may be different but screenplays, music and actions have become repetitive and predictable. Frankly, I prefer and thoroughly enjoyed the kind of action he did in ETT. Besides, the action he did in Tum Ko Na Bhool Payengi was simply superb without the help of international action directors. He should stick to realistic action like the actions in those films rather doing south types. I think even single screen audiences are ready to accept the Sleek-looking-action like in ETT, Don 2, Dhoom 3, or Krrishh.

    His next film is KICK on Eid! It is being directed by Sajid Nadiawala. Since it is first film as a director, he is making the movie on lavish scale with huge budget, with international stunt directors, high production values. Besides Salman Khan, it has some great castings like Nawazuddin, Randeep Hooda, Jaquelin, Mithun. And the screenplay of the original KICK was re-written and improvised by Chetan Bhagat only keeping the theme of the original movie (i.e. which also happens to be in Dhoom 3 formate Cop Vs Theif or Robber. But the good thing here is the lead actor steals from the rich to serve a noble cause and for orphans). Ravi Teja’s Kick was also thoroughly entertaining so much so that I have already watched it five times. I am sure it will click with the audience big time. Hence, expect the unexpected surprise from KICK.

    Next, Salman has a line-up of movies with Sooraj Barjatya, Anees Bazmee, Kabir Khan, Shimit Amin and Prabhu Deva as well. Besides, KJo is also desperate to do a movie with him in a project to be directed by Rohit Shetty. Salman should take that up as well. Hence, Salman will keep ruling!!

    And don’t forget to go and watch Jai Ho with family. It’s a great movie though not the perfect one.
    All the best, Salman Khan!

  • Jai Ho grossed more than race2 is such is any headline dear indicine, Race 2 was such a crap sequal of wonderfully made Race1 while jai ho is way better than Race2 though Agneepath was better than Jai Ho in every sense thanx to brilliant modification in script from originals, great performances by rishi sir, Hr and Sanjay dutt and superb direction of Karan Malhotra.

  • Salman can take any movie to 100 cr even movies like himmatwala , besharam , joker can make it 100 cr if salman was there instead of ajay , rk and akshay

  • @Babaji ka thullu:thanx mate
    @Mango Jai ho and agneepat were supposed to be record breaking films but they failed to live upto expectations

  • @hritik same here with so many loopholes and poor direction still i loved the concept in Jai ho and it will remain one of better films of Salman for me.

  • Look at Jai Ho’s overseas collection

    Only 35 cr.
    Looks like it will be tuff to break the KANK 45 cr. Mark which was released 8-9 years ago! Lol!

    Where big superstar like Amir and Srk have two 100 cr. In overseas
    Salman is still struggling to cross KANK’s 45 cr.
    Lol
